I Survived... I think...

One year of grad school down. I'm thinking I'll walk away with an A and 2 B's this semester. Fingers crossed there, because I really don't want to retake any classes. Especally ethics. I just don't get it but apparently to understand professional ethics, you have to have some personal ones, and well...

Anyway, it is going to be weird to be able to read for myself for the first time in a long time. I don't know where to start. I've got plenty of things to look over.

I'm registered in the fall for a class called "The FM DJ" and I'm very curious about this one. I don't know if it will be a how-to production class or more of an intellectual examination of what the FM DJ does and how they learn to become a personality that people what to listen to. Does it fit into my plan? Hell no. But it seems interesting and the other 2 management classes I need aren't being offered in the fall. I'm hoping this doesn't mean I get to stay over an extra semester. I'm already clueless enough when it comes to my Master's project.

And if you haven't, run out and get the new record from Kings of Leon "Only By The Night". Bleeding awesome stuff.

I suppose I should get back to work and find something productive to do for the next 45 minutes. As much as I'd like to call it so, checking up on the Milton Keynes Dons v. Scunthorpe United game sin't really vital to our newsroom activites...

So close and yet...

Almost done with a year of grad school. I still have one more project that's due on Thursday and I'm sure I'll be up till all hours Wednesday night trying to get it in. Because that's how I roll. But I'm spending the next 4 days in BG and I'm not touching anything related to that site.

This weekend will literally be the last big bash in BG for everyone. Susie and Tim are moving to El Paso at the end of the month, (I get to drive a Uhaul to Texas!) leaving Lew as pretty much the only member of the VOS inner circle still in the area. I mean, he just bought a house. Knowing my luck I'll end up back there after they toss me the hell out of here, but that's besides the point. Anyway, its going to be fun as hell and a needed break from this place. But at the same time, it will be very emotional. I made a VOS power hour last night and ended it with Leave The Memories Alone by Fuel. And the chorus is pretty much my refusal to let the last 6 years just fade away, and almost is a refusal to move on, which I've been trying to overcome for most of the last few months.

So leave the memories alone, I don't want to see
The way things are, as to how they used to be
Leave the memories alone, don't change a thing
And I'll just hold you here in my memory.
